Is it emeregence of Newton's Third Law?

An eye for eye is one of the oldest proverbs. This sounds good IF AND ONLY IF it is put into practice in a movie. A hero trying to take revenge on someone provides the necessary masala and an element of thrill, but movies should be the only place where the above said proverb should be put into practice.

It’s kind of disturbing to hear the word HINDU TERRORISM flashed across all channels and papers. Historically Indians are known for their tolerance and kindheartedness, though there have been very few incidents which do not support this statement. Any religious outfit playing its hand in terrorist activities is a cause for worry.

One thing about the whole incident is the word HINDU TERRORISM that gets mentioned in every sentence that is being reported on TV or on paper. With the kind of media explosion that India has witnessed over the last few years and with all the news channels and papers targeting the same story, this was the only word that I could hear across the media. This whole incident is blown out of proportion by media and few so called secular parties in India. News story around this will definitely help them raise their TRP and viewership, but at the other end this will also create hatred amongst different communities. With some many anti Indian outfits conducted blasts at will across India, a mentioned of terms like HT will kindle them for conducting more such activities.

This new word HT is mentioned just weeks after India’s “Most Powerful Lady” issued statement that terrorist are not from any single community and that you cannot associate terrorism to any particular religion. Well if that’s view of the most powerful lady in Indian politics, then I simply fail to understand how her own party members are endorsing this word coined by media. I am just left to wonder if this is what people call cheap politics. The only reason I can think of as to why the “secular parties” are using this word is for the simple reason that BJP and its allies seem to be better prepared to face the forthcoming elections. Hence it seems as though this is an attempt to reflect terror on the BJP. Its surprising to hear this new word of terrorism because, after so many evidences that proved attacks across the country were carried out by few association which are inclined towards one particular community/philosophy never did we hear a word “isl@#^&* terrorism” mentioned in the India media.

Let’s wait till the investigation is complete. But if it is proved that this act was carried out by a group as suggested now, then it’s a cause of worry. If that’s the case then it is the emergence of Newton’s Third Law which is not healthy for India. Let’s all pray that it’s not true and even if it is, let this be last time.

Longest blogging.. ooops scribbling break.

It’s been nearly 4 months since I wrote my last blog. Probably this is the longest blogging break ever since I started scribbling a year back. There have been quite a few interesting events in this 4months of hibernation.

Initially I thought I will put down couple of lines about each of those in this blog, but then decided against that and I guess I will write in detail about each of them later. Just to get back into the groove of writing I will be scribbling on the week long hibernation that I managed to squeeze in last week in Chennai.

Over the last 3 weeks work and home had almost merged as I ended up working on Saturdays and holidays. The only reason I went home during that period was because my workplace didn’t have a room for me to hit the bed. Though those 3 weeks were physically taxing, it was a great experience in terms of the exposure I got working with few senior management people.

Last week though I managed to slip off from work and spend some quality time at home with my folks. When you are working at a place away from your house even one or two days you spend at home makes you feel good. But 5 whole days at home is a real luxury and I managed to have that last week. 5 days away from computers and work was a real relaxing experience.

Last 5 days at home were essentially spent catching up with few recently released Tamil movies, enjoying Mom’s food , spend some real quality time with my lil sis and visiting few temples in and around Chennai. Most enjoyable part was Mom’s food which was of top quality as always :)

With my sis getting into the crucial and busy time of preparing for her class 12 board exams this year, I guess this would be the last time, when I can spend some quality time with her before her exams. So in that sense this trip back home was very rewarding.

Of the movies I watched I think Saroja was the best amongst the lot. Though labeled a thriller this movie scores because its humor. The best part of the whole movie watching experience was the timing of the comedy scenes and the unexpected scenes in which they appeared. Generally comedy scenes are forcefully injected into the movie but the ease with which they formed a part of this movie was simply amazing.

On a whole this small break in Chennai was the best I have had in the last 2 years when I have been away from home.
